The project links Heritage, Architecture and Climate Change with the aim to recover the local resources as a cultural approach in the contemporary research for sustainable solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Traditional architecture has been a constant reference, not for its forms, but as a way of working. By doing so, we look for the available local resources: the juniper trees are now fortunately protected and the sandstone quarries (mar\u00e8s) have been depleted. Therefore, we only have what arrives by sea: Posidonia. So we propose a shift in approach which has been applied to every single part of the building:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of investing in a chemical plant located 1,500 km away, we could invest the same amount in local labor, who should lay out the Posidonia to dry under the sun and compact it by hand. Sea salt acts as natural biocide and is completely environmentally friendly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The use of dry Posidonia as thermal insulation reminds us that we do not live in a house but an ecosystem.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
